It's hard to say between, Glorfindel, Celeborn and Elrond for the greatest elf of the Third Age. Narrowing it down, I'd say Glorfindel. He fought Ringwraith's and a Balrog, and he died but was brought back. But then there's Tauriel, who just plain kicks ass and looks good (
) at the same time.
Of men though, it's hard to say Aragorn or Boromir. Aragorn fought the terrors of the North, Boromir fought hordes of Orcs and so many Uruk-hai
I must admit, Legolas has no where near Aragorn or Boromir's skill.
Gandalf gets my vote for the best wizard, with Saruman being an ass to Gandalf, Radagast is just plain crazy but awesome at being crazy (Rabbit Sled) and the other two wizards not bothering to show up at anytime in The Third Age.
Gothmog gets my vote for the coolest Orc, as he was literally rocking The Third Age.
#1 Boromir - Because he was epic in the book and kicks ass in the game, and not to forget Sean Bean's epic portrayal of him in the epic films.
#2 Gandalf - Because he just can.
#3 Tauriel - A little lesson here: never mess with a redhead, particularly this one.
#4 Gothmog - Orcs are notable ugly creatures, but this guy beats the bar. That however, hasn't stopped his awesome tactics and battle prowess. He almost successfully sieged Minas Tirith, not alone of course.
#5 I am unsure of my fifth warrior. I seem to have come to a block, but anyway, I chose a warrior from each race (except dwarves, because there too many to choose from).
